CoDz Code of Conduct
Listed below is the Code of Conduct.
Please don't just read numbered points and say "I'd never advertise!" and skip over it, because there are things you may not realize are categorized as advertising, or anything else, that are and you might have already broken them. If you have any questions regarding this, please ask, and have a good time and be sure to follow the rules!
1. ADVERTISING [ADV]:
Rule: Advertising to other users inside the CoDz Forum, whether it be via a post, personal message, or profile/signature links, to buy or view any products, websites, or other service is strictly prohibited. Non-intrusive links in signatures to personal YouTube accounts may be allowed, but that is case-to-case and each will be reviewed individually.
Consequence: The infringing user’s account will be banned, as well as the IP address. Any post with the intentions of advertising will be immediately and permanently deleted.
Example: If you are a spam bot, a hired advertiser, or a desperate website/business owner, this may apply to you. Signing up and making your only post a promotion for your zombie gameplay YouTube channel is breaking the rule. However simply sending links to a fellow forum goer who wants to know where to buy a capture card is not breaking this rule, PMing your buddy a link to a funny YouTube video isn't, etc.
2. DOUBLE ACCOUNTS [DBLE]:
Rule: Creating another account when a a user already has one account on CoDz is not allowed. There is little to no need for a separate account. If you've forgotten your password and need access back to your main account, use the Forgot Password link. Should there be a logical reason outside of forgetting credentials for the double account, contact a staff member immediately with details of the situation..
Consequence: The secondary account created by the original user will be permanently banned given with evidence of double accounts. In addition, the original account held by the user will be temporarily banned as well. Using the secondary account to avoid a suspension/ban on the main account will result in both accounts being permanently banned.
Example: A user creates a double account because they've been banned. If that account matches up the original user and no case has been made to the staff about the reason for the double account, both accounts will be banned after contacting the user.
3. SPAMMING [SPAM]: Spamming is defined as many things, and all of them aren’t allowed. As a CoDz user, you should hold yourself to a high standard and use common sense when posting.
Duplicate Posts -
Rule: Creating a thread that discusses a topic that has already been brought up in another thread is generally frowned upon, as each user is responsible for finding the pre-existing thread and making their remarks there. Cross-posting violations (making more than one post of the same question/answer across multiple forums) is prohibited.
Consequence: The infringing duplicate thread will be either merged (with the original thread), locked, or deleted, depending on the situation. When dealing with two duplicate threads, the staff will sometimes exercise their own personal judgement with regard to the thread’s posts, to avoid conversations being broken up and posts losing their cohesion, as all the comments in both threads are merged and arranged by the date they were posted.
Cross-posting violations will be dealt with by deleting all cross-posted threads. Users are responsible for figuring out the appropriate section in which to post their topic. If you have any trouble you may ask any staff member for advice!
We always welcome PMs from the users!
Example: If two threads are created that both discuss the exact same element of a newly released Zombie Map trailer, they become ‘duplicate posts’, as they consist of identical, or very similar, material. However, if someone makes a thread about, for example, who they think the Pentagon Thief is, and then someone else makes a thread in which they argue that it is actually someone completely different, they would not be breaking the rule.
Moreover, if someone made a thread that came to the same conclusion as the first user’s thread did, it still wouldn’t necessarily break the rule, as long as they brought new evidence to the table (or reevaluated old evidence) while doing so. If they reach the same conclusion, then they will be merged, in which case the older thread will remain, and the newer thread will become a reply to the older post.
Post Pumping -
Rule: Any user that makes a post just to increase their own post count is considered disruptive to the community, and is interfering with the other members’ usage of the CoDz forum.
Consequence: Violations will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis - some users will be warned verbally by PM, others may receive an official warning, and posts/threads may also be deleted (which will make your post count drop again!). Repeat offenders will suffer a Permanent Ban of their account on the forum.
Example: If a user makes a post saying “I agree,” or “We know,” or something similar and they do not further the conversation or productivity of the thread, that would be grounds for deletion of the post. The specific details of post pumping are left for staff to decide case-by-case, as there are a broad range of possibilities, which are quite dependent on the circumstances.
4. FLAMING [FLAME]:
Rule: Posts, signatures, avatars, or PMs that are intended to harass, threaten, embarrass or cause the distress or discomfort to another member of the CoDz Forum Community or any other individual or entity is unacceptable. (For this reason, the emoticon known as “facepalm” has been removed from the forum.)
Consequence: In some cases, warnings may be issued, but flaming is likely to result in Permanent Banning. It is therefore advisable to always be respectful to your fellow members; this does not mean you cannot disagree with someone, but you do not need to tear a person down in order to prove your point, so be careful with sarcasm! The response “I was only joking” will not get you much sympathy.
Example: If a user says to another on the forum that they are stupid, dumb, illogical, incompetent, etc., that is an example of a user tearing another down, and is considered to be ‘flaming’. Even sarcastically saying “Wow, you’re a bright one, aren’t you..” or “Did you figure that out on your own?” would qualify as a form of harassment.
5. OFFENSIVE CONTENT [OFF]:
Rule: Using offensive language in any context is not allowed here at the CoDz Forum. We believe that our intelligent members can make their points and offer their contributions WITHOUT the necessity of vulgarities. Included in this would be racism, sexism, or any other form of discrimination that may end up causing the distress or discomfort of a user or any group in general. Along with offensive language, displaying or linking to offensive content is not allowed at CoDz. Please be sensitive towards others and how they may react to sensitive material.
Consequence: Posts, signatures, or profiles containing offensive language, content, or links will be edited and/or deleted by the Forum Moderators and Warnings will be issued as appropriate. Repeat violations of this policy may result in more severe actions, up to and including Permanent Banning.
Example: You can come up with your own examples for sensitive language, I trust we all have at least a few in our heads, but simply starring out a letter or putting a strike through the word does not excuse its usage, such as f*ck, sh*t, etc. An example of offensive content could be an avatar of the Twin Towers falling with the caption “Burn baby burn!” This is very offensive to many people, and although it may not be so to you, please respect the feelings of other users.
Examples of offensive links include Pornographic, Racial, Defamation, or any other derogatory content. If it does not pass our CoC do not link to it on our site.
6. SIGNATURES [SIG]:
Rule: A user’s signature may only be 5 lines high, 15 pixels high per line and 65 pixels wide per line. A signature must follow all of the above guidelines concerning offensive language and material, and also concerning advertising.
Consequence: If a user creates a signature that violates the above rules, they will first be contacted and asked to change their signature. If they do not comply, someone will change it for them. Particularly horrid offenses will be dealt with by staff in an appropriate manner.
Example: A “good” signature could contain a few links to some threads (as long as they follow previous rules), zombie round numbers, a small image, or something personal, such as a saying or quote. A “bad” signature would contain any annoying “flashy” .GIFs, or any content that would not comply with previous CoC rules.

Just wanted to point out that my Absence of Late is Due to the Internet Nazi's at my Work Place. They Finally blocked this Forum. :evil: Along with every single "Anonymizer" I can think of. Every day since that Fateful Day has been a long, Drawn out Affair. And because I don't have a lot of time to check the Forum at home, I havent been on Recently. As such have been missing out on a lot of great news it looks like. 3D. . . Really Treyarch? 3D? I think that piece of the Budget could be better spent. And it looks Like the Site is doing Great without me! (As if I were THAT Important) Oh and unless I'm Imagining things, the site looks Updated. Maybe n…

Due to New Year celebrations and lots of busy schedules (mainly containing parties and all that jazz), there will not be a UOTM competition for January. I apologize to all who were looking forward to it, but I felt it was necessary to give people time away from CODZ and the computer so that they could spend it with their families. Hopefully you all had a wonderful Holiday season and a happy new year. We all look forward to 2011 and what it will bring with it. See you all in a few weeks for the February UOTM!

Although apparently he would only be briefly seen, this would match up considering Nikolai was sent to war after killing his wives. Not really related to anything, but still, as far as zombies characters go, this is pretty cool.

So, lack of chat, huh? I was bored awhile ago and I went into my dream land. *Woosh* What I imagined was CoDz Version of all of your favorite songs like "Just The Way You Are" was "Just The Gun I Got." Also, in my dreamland Justin Bieber was killed by a sniper rifle, but not to get too off-topic. Anyways, as the hosts we had Carbonfibah and Triixter doing the Night Shift. MrRoflWaffles, Stwrsbob, and some zomb-she I don't remember were doing the Early Bird Show. Also, we had our very own rapper, StopDrop, yeah bro, I got your message on XBOX Live. Also, I thought we should have a 24/7 Podcast, no real video footage, just moderators of CoDz making jokes. Pretty much all of…

Hi.. i'll just get straight to it. CoDz needs a new server provider. The current one takes nearly a minute to load a new page of a thread. I've never had to work with high-bandwith sites before, and I havent used this provider, but i definatly think this provider is worth checking out: http://www.ipage.com/web-hosting Any discussion?

Anybody here thinking of going to the Eurogamer Expo in London this year? Its on late september. http://www.eurogamer.net/expo/ Since we launched our website, (link in my signature), we have grown in terms of size, received new writers and become eligible for Press Passes to the Eurogamer Expo meaning we will get exclusive access to certain areas within, be able to access earlier than the public and speak to developers of games which will do wonders for our site. Public can also buy tickets for a little over £8. Just to confirm who will be attending as press, is myself, MrRoflWaffles, Mikeh12 and one of our new writers, Ben Stoker. Mikeh and Ben will b…

I know I have been a little arrogant about this matter, but I come here with my arms open. I will like to propose a series of reforms for Team Wunder Waffes, which I believe you will all like. - Open for everyone: ANYBODY can join the team, no matter the age, as long as he has an Xbox. The EZS will stay, but their new purpose will be to help members struggling with the game become better at it. They will be the elite of the team, but this will be because, considering they have skill, their talent should be recognized by everyone. - Remove the whole Empire business: The Holy Wunder Waffe Empire will completely dissapear. I shall be emperor of dogs, but not of th…

You all know it, you all hate it and if we wanted a ** BANNED WORD ** we would go to a reputable company and buy one from them. Anyway, we hate spam as much as you. We have several things in place to combat spam, the two most recently registered accounts balotelii and seznc are both spammers, unfortunately the system didn't think it was likely to be spam when these accounts registered. Both topics are spam, both topics are ** BANNED WORD ** So, the use of the word k i t c h e n is a banned word and below is how it will appear. I'm still updating the banned word filter, so if you can think of any possible ways of spelling k i t c h e n - let us know below. ** BAN…

So as you all know by now we have recovered the old asylum, research & training facility. Unfortunately the usernames all have the prefix of guest_ and the suffix of _* - so I have done a fair bit of working and testing on this before bring it onto the live site and since it was brought over to the live site. Changing the guest_username_* to just the username - it's too big a task to align, it will take a lot of work on a per post/user basis and it is simply not going to happen. So what we have done is removed the guest_ prefix and the _* suffix so that the members name is displayed, it will still show the name as a "guest" name, in that you cannot select it, howe…

Sorry folk's, I'm aware the chatroom is down, it was reported earlier in the staff skype chat. I assumed it was an error on the remote server that hosts the chat. The actual fault is due to a licencing issue, our server isn't communicating with invisions licencing server. I know the cause of the fault and I've fixed that but waiting on invision support to respond to the ticket I raised with them this morning, in all honesty I forgot that the chatroom would have been affected as a result. Apologies we will be back up, it will just take a wee bit of time, please bare with me whilst I fix the first fault & that will fix the fault with the chatroom.

We performed quite a large update today to address a couple of issues with the new software, we are now running the most up to date version of the software. We held off from performing previous update releases so that we could address pretty much most of them all at once. Some more updates are due to be released and new features will be coming shortly as well. Here is a brief list of what we addressed today. Many bugs fixed both from tickets and bug tracker. A focus on ticket-related issues. Many performance improvements. More will come in next release but you should see a difference. LegacyParser does not convert hyperlinked YouTube URLs that were parsed into videos i…

Just how it used to be. It now includes an voting system, where you can vote for the next UoTM but it seems to be a little quirky and the moment and the setting won't save for it. The archive is back, but for some reason the dev has went from month name to month number, needing this adjusted for all previous ones to show correctly but I'm doing this one by one.

Hey everyone! It's been a while since our staff has made a major announcement like this. I'd like to preface by apologizing for not being nearly as transparent as I'd like to be with these new changes. You may have seen some new things coming our way if you've been watching us closely on Twitter (and receiving our email newsletters the past few months). With this new announcement, we - myself, the staff, and our new friends - are making big changes and want everyone to know what's going on. We're happy to announce that Call of Duty Zombies is officially a part of the Collateral Network! For those out of the loop, CoDZ is now being managed not only …

I, and many Uk Zombies, have had this problem for a while: America is UTC - 5 hours which is 5 hours BEHIND England, so when i log on at 6am (i get up early ) to check messages i see an american friend from CoDz, like Mick Saints: Me- Hey mick, CoD? Mick- What? its 1am over here, i'm just wrapping this up and going to bed! this is a problem, especially here: When a playdate is set up, it will be at a range of, say, 10 am up to 10 pm and in the UK we have a EST or +5 hours, so when it is 10 am in America it is 3pm here and 10 pm is 3 am... So you see that the playdate is a problem for many Uk zombies who have a Job/University or college/School to…

Twas the night before christmas,in a far away land. I was holding my rifle tightly in my left hand. The enemy was upon us, with hot lead flying round. I reached for my knife, but it couldn't be found. I ran into a house, just off of the field, when what to my wandering eyes should appear? It was a red outfit, with a red and white hat. And four small green uniforms following that. "It surely can't be!" I said to myself. "Kringle's workshop isn't here, these can't be his shelves!" Then a man said my name, It was a soft,gentle voice. "This used to be Santa's workshop of choice..." I couldn't believe it, it was a small elf. He was tucked in …

I think that since we have to share a server with other sites we need our own. We get quite a bit of traffic now and the site keeps going down because we are hogging the server. So I am looking into buying a dedicated server. These can be kind of expensive, but it will be better then paying for hosting I suppose. Anyway so ya let me know what you think, if you know anything about dedicated servers please feel free to post some advice, suggestions, etc... If we get this going I will be adding a new tier to CoDz for ViP's.... people who pay a subscription and will get all kinds of benefits. This wiill help pay for the server. I don't mind paying some, but I w…

Would anyone other than me want one? With carbons permission, I could set one up. However, there is no point in doing that if nobody else would join it. Who would join it if there was one? If I can get 5 other people, I will pm carbon asking for his permission. thanks, -thezombiekiller
